Funny you should quote the man with the big stick...
Bully of a quote.
I just this minute finished adding a picture of Teddy to the section on Cuttyhunk in my new DVD -- It's a great image taken from an old bronze likeness. He use to love to fish the island for stripers around 1910...with his good friend William Howard Taft -- who was elected President shortly after one of their visits.
I'm also indebted to the old Rough Rider for his Nobel Peace Prize, award-winning efforts in mediating the end of the Russo-Japanese war; it brought about the release of my grandfather who had been a prisoner of war for over a year!
George, you've got to love someone who lived life to the fullist. At the time of his death in 1919 he said, "No man has had a happier life than I have led; a happier life in every way."
On October 27th next year we should celebrate his birthday the way we did Papa Hemingway's 100th-- this time you buy the pizza.
